Wrong. "Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford's letter. More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes."
Quote:How is testimony that people didn't witness the assault testimony that the assault didn't occur? That would seem to imply that we have reasonable reason to believe they would have witnessed an assault if it had occurred. From my recollection, Blasey Ford is claiming that she and Kavanaugh and Judge were alone together in a bedroom. If my understanding is wrong, then please correct it.
She said there was a party with herself and four others. Only two others were in the bedroom. Testimony by the two not in the bedroom that the party itself never occurred obviously counters Ford's claim.
Quote:Otherwise, that seems that you have only one witness that it didn't happen, and that is Kavanaugh, as originally stated. It appears to be your claim that the two others were in the bedroom with Kavanaugh, Blasey Ford, and Judge. It's getting pretty crowded in there.
You're pretty snarky for someone who doesn't know the facts.
Quote:Can you link me to the statements of these other people because I haven't seen it. (I haven't read the news this morning, and there was nothing about this in any of the accounts I've read previously.)

That's Judge. I linked to the other earlier.
Quote:Your article says that Smyth has no knowledge of either the party or the assault. That doesn't help any. (The article you cite doesn't claim that Smyth denies the assault took place. If you have an actual instance of him denying the assault, please provide it. If he simply has no knowledge of the events, I don't see how that introduces serious doubt that the event did occur. It additionally puts an inconsistency in Smyth's claims, that he both does and does not have knowledge of the events in question.)
If the article and Smyth's statement are any indication, you seem to be seeing what you want to believe rather than what's actually there.
You seem to be a moron, or more likely purposely obfuscating. Testimony that the party at which the assault allegedly took place didn't occur, is testimony that the assault itself didn't occur.
